I have known you and patty for many years my heart hurts. We have a lot of good memories that will forever be in my heart.
Bad Bob was your name.. Riding and Fishing was your game… we had many memories.. from you and Duggo telling me to sniff the fish bucket, or the time when you and Duggo tried to get me to eat a pig eye.. I remember my first beer with you when I was 15… you were so excited you kept cracking up a new one for me and told me to “have another” you are and always will be Bad Bob!!! Love you and will miss you tons!!! – Dyl
Although we ourselves didn’t know Bobby well, he and Charlie’s brother , Greg, were great friends, and I know he misses Bobby.. We were the ones who gave him Chico, and I know Chico misses him greatly, as does the rest of the family. You have our deepest sympathies. God gained a great fisherman today! RIP Bobby!
You will be greatly missed. R.I.H. Bob.. Our thoughts and prayers go out to family & friends.
